Instructions

Before you start, keep in mind that this is a yeast-free, oil-free naan. It means that the texture won't be as soft and fluffy as the classic recipe. It is a denser and chewier bread but a delicious Vegan Naan option for any curry.
In a large mixing bowl, stir flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and stir in the non-dairy yogurt.
Mix with a spatula, then get your hands in the dough to knead for a few seconds until the dough is combined and slightly sticky dough forms. Add 1-4 extra tablespoons of flour, if needed, until the dough is soft, not sticky, and you can form a ball.
Return the dough ball to the mixing bowl, cover the bowl with a towel, and set aside at room temperature for 15-30 minutes.
Sprinkle the work surface with flour, then place the dough ball on the surface. Sprinkle some more flour on top of the ball, and knead for 30 seconds until smooth.
Dust the benchtop with more flour, cut the dough ball into 4 pieces. Roll each slice into a ball, then roll them with a rolling pin into a 1/4-inch / 0.6-cm thick round/oval shape.
Preheat a non-stick saucepan under medium-high heat for 1 minute, don't add oil.
When hot, add the rolled dough and cook for 3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an extra 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Repeat these steps until all Vegan Naans are cooked.
Brush each cooked bread with vegan butter or coconut oil.

Notes

Yogurt-Free Option: Replace the dairy-free yogurt with 1 cup of high fat non-dairy milk like canned coconut milk or soy milk combined with 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Stir, set aside for 5 minutes until the milk curdles, and use as a yogurt replacement.
